Ola ParaDive Scuba

"My husband and I had a phenomenal experience with Jonathan! We booked the certified diver boat dives and rented all the equipment. All equipment worked really well and he took the extra time to ensure we defogged before each dive. He was attentive and did a great job pointing out all the sea life! He guided us through large shipwrecks, beautiful coral, and maritime fauna. Would recommend!"

"An amazing first time experience for scuba diving. Jonathan is a very responsible and professional coach. He took care of us and so patient with us. The entire process is smooth and we made it to the water successfully. What a pity the GoPro didn’t work on that day. However, can’t wait to come back to Honolulu and dive with Jonathan again!"

"We're returning from a week long trip to Honolulu and I wanted to take a minute to leave a review for Jonathon and his company, Ola Para Dive. As a life long snorkeling enthusiast, I have always wanted to try scuba diving but have been concerned with confident enough with safely completing the required skills. My wife and I tried snuba a few years ago which was a good introduction to breathing under water but was limiting and didn't address my concerns with accomplishing scuba skills. I've thought about doing a discover scuba trip for several years and finally pulled the trigger on our most recent trip to Oahu. I selected Jonathon and Ola Para Dive based on the great reviews, availability and the reasonable price. After booking the trip, Jonathon got right back to me to confirm the best time and continued to have excellent communication. On the morning of the dive, we met Jonathon at the charter dive boat and he was great about keeping us informed as to what to expect and took the time during preparations to start mentally preparing me for our skills practice. We departed from the harbor on time and once at the appropriate shallow dive site, Jonathon got me set up with gear, went over in detail what we were going to be working on and made sure I was feeling confident. I'll admit, my first 20 minutes in the water was a little stressful and it took me longer than I thought to get comfortable but I have to give full credit to Jonathan. He remained calm and focused on my success and didn't let me even think about giving up. In the end, I was able to check off a lifelong bucket list item and the experience of diving a vibrant coral reef with turtles all around at 40ft far exceeded my exceptions. If you have ever dreamed of trying or learning how to scuba dive but are nervous about being successful, then I highly recommend Jonathan and Ola Para Dive-his calm demeanor and professionalism will surely bring you success as he did for me."

"Jonathan was an excellent dive instructor and he took my wife and I on the two best dives our lives. We booked the certified diver boat dives from Honolulu and the scenery did not disappoint! Jonathon was sure to make sure all of our needs were taken care of and he went the extra mile to show us all the little secrets along the dive."

"Was the best experience of all time! Jonathan was absolutely amazing! He really made me feel so comfortable and relaxed! He also got amazing footage of me and my husband! I 1000% would do it again and go through him! 10/10 Recommend him!"
